~~Makoto's POV~~

~A few minutes after the explosion~

"It...exploded?", Hina said

"I...had a bad feeling about that body. But I never imagined it would explode... And now the body...", Byakuya said

"It's burnt to a crisp! That's beyond well done, man!", Hiro said

"Don't compare it to a steak! I'll never be to eat steak again...", Hina said

"But now that the body's charred, I really have no idea... How are we gonna find out who it was...?", I said

"Who isn't here right now?", Byakuya asked

"...Huh"?

"If we consider who's not here, that will quickly narrow down who it must be".

"There's only two people missing...", Hina said

"It's...Kyoko and Y/n", Byakuya said

"K-Kyoko!? Y/n"!?

"Calm down. I didn't say it was either of them".

Just then, an exhausted and worried Y/n came bursting through the door...

"Y-Y/n! You're here! Did something happen...!?", I said with worry

"Fuck you mean, "Did something happen"!? What the fuck...was that!? What the hell is going on here!? How does a body just fucking explode!? What happened when I was asleep..."!?

"I-It's alright, Y/n. Nobody's hurt...", Hina said

"Well, maybe except for Toko...", Hiro said

"What? Why!? Did something happen to her"!?

"Not necessarily", Byakuya said

"Fuck you mean, "not necessarily"!? Is she okay or not"!?

"Y-Yeah, she's fine, Y/n. She's just a bit startled by the explosion...", I reassured

Y/n let out a sigh of relief. "Phew... Thank goodness".

"If Y/n is here, that rules her out of the question on who this person is...".

"S-So that only leaves one other person...", Hina said

"No, I wouldn't say that. There *is* one other person", Byakuya said. "The mastermind...".

"What"!?

"Th-The mastermind!?", Hiro said. "Come on, there's no way! The MASTERMIND got char-broiled!? Get serious"!

"I agree, normally the idea wouldn't be worth considering. But I have a reason to believe it may be true. The mastermind being dead would explain that other matter, wouldn't it?", Byakuya said. "Monokuma can hardly move around if its master is dead, right"?

"B-But...that corpse is a girl, right? It doesn't make any sense! I mean, remember what Alter Ego said? He said the mastermind is some middle-aged dude, right? Which the corpse obviously isn't"!

"Then could that mean...the mastermind *isn't* the headmaster...?", I said. I then turned to Y/n. "Do you think...it's the teenage girl Kyoko told us about? The Ultimate Despair..."?

"Huh..."?

"Mukuro Ikusaba, the sixteenth student at Hope's Peak... It's a possibility that this corpse is her, Makoto...", you said

"...What are you two talking about?", Byakuya said

"The other day, Kyoko confided in me and Y/n... She said there was a sixteenth students here in the school".
